These are most definitely not triplets in Harnoncourt's version but are played correctly as rapid notes leading up to the note itself. Then a favourite, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe/Harnoncourt. Firstly, the Klemperer: it could be argued that in slowing down the movement to a dirge the conductor was left with no alternative but to use the slower triplets!! Now, you can hear the difference with these versions. Klemperer is playing them as triplets, but they are not triplets. I thought the performance much too slow, but my 'beef' was those double appoggiaturas from Bar 29. Last week at music appreciation one of my colleagues played this Beethoven 7th symphony, recorded in 1955 with Klemperer.
